It's low level but rather easy to build up more complex stuff. It's never
been that popular in general due to its RPN nature, but is quite popular for
extensions in low memory situations: it's *extremely* compact when
"compiled" (that is, when source code consisting solely of word definitions
is executed, the result is quite tiny).
To give one example of the latter, look at FreeBSD's boot loader.
